Distributor RS Components has added to its offering of the ISO-TECH range of hand-held digital storage oscilloscopes, with the IDS-200 and IDS-300 two-channel versions, aimed at users such as electrical installation engineers and site maintainers.

The new IDS-200 and IDS-300 series feature touchscreen capacitive-LCD technology, which enables fingertip control of the device. Using only one finger, a waveform can be moved and a line position can be triggered; and using two fingers allows the adjustment of voltage levels and time-division scales. The touchscreen technology also offers an intuitive menu that enables operations such as fingertip control over the location of measurement functions and anytime-anywhere saving and retrieving both diagrams and data.

The ISO-TECH IDS-200 and IDS-300 hand-held two-channel DSOs offer a maximum sample rate of 1-Gsample/sec and are available in entry-level models – the IDS-207 70MHz, IDS-210 100MHz and IDS-220 200MHz, and advanced models – the IDS-307 70MHz, IDS-310 100MHz and IDS-320 200MHz. IDS-200 models offer memory depth of 1Mpts per channel and a DMM count of 5000, whereas the IDS-300 models provide a memory depth of 5Mpts per channel, a DMM count of 50,000 and temperature measurement.

These lightweight high-functionality devices weigh 1.5kg and are robust and easily portable around any worksite, providing easy measurement and fast data analysis. They are supplied with everything needed to get up and running as soon as possible, including: a 150 MHz probe for use with IDS-207/307/210/310 or a 250 MHz probe (for use with IDS-220/320); test lead; power cord; soft carrying case; soft carrying bag; AC-DC adapter; wrist strap, Quick Start guide; and CD user manual.
